Abstract

To model size dependent plastic deformation at micron and submicron length scales the theory of mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity (MSG) was developed. The MSG approach incorporates the concept of geometrically necessary dislocations into continuum plastic constitutive laws via Taylor hardening relation. This concept is extended here to develop a mechanism-based strain gradient theory for crystal plasticity (MSG-CP) based on the notions of dislocation density tensor and resolved density force corresponding to the Peach-Koehler force in dislocation theory. An effective density of geometrically necessary dislocations is defined on the basis of resolved density force for specific slip systems and is incorporated into the plastic constitutive laws via Taylor relation.
